Episode 14 recap: Mei Kaishao assists Murong Hanbing in selecting talents.

Mei Kaishao couldn't help but kiss Murong Hanbing while he was asleep. Just as Murong Hanbing woke up, their eyes met, and they couldn't resist kissing each other passionately. Mei Kaishao realized that Murong Hanbing was still injured and quickly pushed him away. Murong Hanbing also let go of Mei Kaishao, unwilling to take advantage of her. Suddenly, Murong Hanbing came up with a plan to use Mei Kaishao as his envoy to supervise the selection of military officers. In reality, Murong Hanbing pretended to be recovering from his injuries while secretly preparing for the selection of talents in the literary field. He didn't want to miss this opportunity. Mei Kaishao immediately agreed.

At the martial arts field, Mei Xuan is overseeing the examination. Mei Kaishao arrives here with great confidence, claiming to be an invigilator. Mei Xuan finds it somewhat absurd but reluctantly agrees due to Murong Hanbing's special envoy status. Just as the winners and losers are about to be determined in the competition, Mei Kaishao stops Mei Xuan from making the final decision. Mei Kaishao believes that the two participants in the competition are obviously pretending to fight and should not be chosen. Mei Xuan becomes furious, but then Murong Hanbing arrives.

Murong Hanbing supports Mei Kaishao's decision and gives his full support. Mei Xuan doesn't say much, considering Murong Hanbing's influence. Meanwhile, the imperial examination is proceeding smoothly. Under Murong Hanbing's behind-the-scenes manipulation, the selection of talents in the Great Desert Kingdom has finally begun. The three chief examiners are also delighted. These talented individuals from humble backgrounds have studied hard for ten years and finally have a chance to showcase their abilities. Once the talents are selected, the current situation of military officers occupying territory will inevitably change.

Murong Hanbing is pleased with the progress of the imperial examination. Mei Kaishao and Murong Hanbing meet and share their respective updates. Murong Hanbing is particularly pleased with Mei Kaishao's determination not to allow any backdoor entries. Murong Hanbing looks at Mei Kaishao's confident appearance and embraces her tightly. In the court, the talents have been selected, and the emperor plans to arrange suitable official positions after careful consideration. However, Mei Xuan opposes this decision, believing that the imperial examination should not be the sole criteria. The court officials and military officers are unaware of this matter, yet people have already been selected.
